You're not wrong!!! 🧡

Wow that's amazing! So glad for you!

My mental health has calmed from *constant* extremes of bad, to just about coping most days, with bad days interspersed, which is the biggest improvement. Body is still crap, but that's par for the course ha.

Heya Eric!

Dragged to SM by friend being dragged by someone wasn't how I expected to be back lol.

Been a slog of a time, tbh, but hanging in! How are you??? 🧡

And on she continues with her public lashing, showing exactly who she is. But you are the one who is mean to *her*? Oof. Anyone reading can see it's not fair or realistic.

I respect the hell out of you for largely staying out of this toxic whirlwind. It's *intense*!

Love you so much!

But you didn't finally do yourself in running around after the healthy woman having a crap week?! Aren't you an absolute horror!! 🙄

I hate seeing you forced to endure this tirade while so ill, flaring your condition severely. It's frankly brutal. Her blocking/hiding anyone who calls her out on this cruelty says it all.

By the way, as your friend, someone who knows best, you are VERY far from a crap friend. You're damn awesome!

I don't think you have any idea how cruel a thread like this is, nor how deeply damaging - especially aimed at someone who is so extremely ill, struggling every single day to manage even the very most basic of life needs, with NO help

If you care for her, you've sure had a strange way of showing it

Omg, I'm so horribly sorry you needed to ask this question, Ben, & that I didn't see till now! I've just been unable to handle SM, whilst navigating a pretty horrible state of mental health. I'm OKish, just communication is really, really hard right now!

Appreciate you, and miss being with y'all! 🧡

Sure! Hope the poor wee boy feels better soon! 🧡

Oh... And we kept it rolled back some for drinking when we were around, but rolled fully out overnight and if we were out, to prevent them accessing the wounds. Kind of tricky, but it really made a difference!

I hope you find something perfect! 🧡

The nice thing is you could roll it back for them to more easily access drinking and such.

Difficult thing is that different shapes will suit different animals better!

Only with small dogs, not cats, but we had luck with the kind that are the same shape as this, but soft and very slightly padded. HUGELY better than plastic! We tried a blow up one, too, at one point, but the girl we tried it on seemed more uncomfortable with that one than the standard shape.

I love kitty-burglar! 😻

Not when I can avoid it, haha. 😅

Thanks!!

Oh, thank you! I'll try and have a look there!

And yes, really!! The worst thing is that you know it's just so they can catch people out! 🫠 I am so tired with how stacked against us everything is all of the damn time.

They see us as having no worth if no work - yet cannot work or poverty. Lol.

Thanks, lovely!!

This system is so purposefully and cruelly complicated, and grey area'd. Researching it is exhausting. Places I could ask for help are hard to access or require payment.

Damned ableist nonsense!!!
